Description
Summary:The rapid acceptance of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter etc and with the huge use of mobile phones, the data volume is increasing at the rate of terabytes. As the data size and variety is increasing dramatically, databases intend to be more schema-less and less strict, in order to achieve higher scalability. Their queries tend to be quick responding, which grants them very fast writes and even faster reads. All these could not be managed with our Relational Databases or SQL. The ease of scalability and improved security has increased the popularity of Not-Only SQL. But they are not as reliable or effective as Relational Databases. Here, in this paper, an extensive study of the pros and cons of SQL and NoSQL, their relevance in cloud and at last, an evaluation of some NoSQL databases is also done.
